pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3
Hello, @tar..thanks for clarifying. It makes even more sense to have the backup since it is so easily swapped. I have been looking at Jays for a few years. I love the look and function of loading CD players.  
Clean AC power
Hello,+1 on the Puritan PSM156. They also have a couple of other products you can add to fix the ground going from your system. I own 2 Puritan PSM156 and the Ultimate XX power cords. This is a great place to start. If you demo it get a fully brok... 
Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System
Hello,Wow, This got a lot of responses. Just like when someone thanked MC for something and all hell broke loose. JK. I think MC is funny as hell. You are correct about the REL LFE input. You can use the speakon or RCA/XLR connection for the two c... 
Phono cartridge
Hello,I am not sure if you want to try something different. What about the Hana line. The Hana SL for $750 is a great cart for the money.  
Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels.
Hello,I agree with Cakyol. Subwoofer or even better, two of them. If you don’t have an external crossover set the subs at 60hz. You will be amazed. I have REL and JL Audio. 2 of each. Later add the JL Audio CR1 crossover regardless of weather you ... 
30 year old player, worth an upgrade?
Hello,I would make sure it has digital outs. If it has RCA/Coax even better. I like the idea of you adding a DAC later on. R2R like the Denifrips Ares II is better on SS gear. If you are running tube gear a chip based system would’ve better. Like ...

Hello,I have seen this scenario before. The Jays transport is nice and gets good reviews. If you are concerned about the drive you can buy a backup. You will have to send it all in to have the drive and firmware installed.  It is usually more impo...

Need emergency help please!
Hello,One thing I always see on motorcycles is the music playing loud to keep up with the noise from the bike. What if you blew the amp or speakers? You might be connected but nothing is coming out due to blown drivers or over cooked amp. I just t... 
My Apologies to Miller Carbon
Hello,Bigtwin- Hegel just started that power saving mode due to euro restrictions. The new Hegel V10 phono preamp did it to when I demoed it. On the V10 you can over ride it. Maybe their other models can be over ridden too. I leave on SS. MC-Good ... 
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
Hello,The Puritan PSM156 or PSM136 will do this. It filters out over the air signals like WiFi, cellular, and Bluetooth. It also filters out noises from DC, compressors, and switch mode power supplies. It is incredible. If you are in the Chicagola... 
OK - Now What…?
Hello,Where are the two JL Audio F110 subwoofers?  I know a lot of people ask “How can that improve my speakers that go all the way down to 20hz?  I swear it can. Hook them up and set the crossover at 60hz. You can get wireless kits for better pla...

Hello,I get it. A lot of people do not know that Straightwire makes the cables for several high end headphone brands. If anyone company can help its Straightwire. Call Straightwire direct in Florida to ask them what you need. It’s bot about how mu... 
warmest speaker cables you've heard?
Hello,Stay away from Silver coated copper. Also, try a thicker gauge of wire. You might want to call Straightwire. You can tell them you whole system and they will let you know how to fix your sound. Personally I don’t agree with fixing sound. You... 
Speaker in car boot on hot day
Hello,Let the speakers adjust to your home or office for a day or two before you turn it on or connect it. Heat and cold can move materials. In the US we bring in the wood flooring into the space where it will be installed and leave it there for 7...
